"Better" - discuss it in this thread

[Bandita]

i think axl might have hired R2 D2 as the ninth and final member of gnr to do some finishing touches on this one

 

Oh God I am really laughing at that.

After a few more listens yea, I think it's a final version that probably still needed some mixing. ?But definitely new. ?And hopefully meaning things are really happening!

[Robman?]

Give it up already. Fake. Fake. Fake.

not according to dizzy

I believe that if we didn't get the Better demo last year, people would think this is the best shit ever.

It sounds like a little too much of Axls voice over the Music. It maybe a mix where he sang over it. Remember he was redoing some vocals.

It appears people got used to what they got last year, and just cant handle the fact that the song might venture into new territories, or broaden it's own horizon.

various people in the gnr camp over the years have given different stories on subjects where, theoretically, they should give the same one. im thinking conspiracy ofmisinformation rgarding the whole bbf/dizzy thing.

further to my last appraisal, having listened a couple more times, i think its still vicious enough in the right places. i dont really have a clear preference for this or the last demo.

Ok, I stand corrected. But I didn't know about the Dizzy e-mail then. Or the confirmation of it. So, if it is real, and close to a finished version, then what's that say about the direction the music has taken?

[DeadHorse]

I didn't have time to read all of the post but has anybody else relised that it was tis time last year that we first heard the demo of Better.

Coincidence or not it is rather odd.

I didn't just read what I think I did....

Axl might take a song in a different direction...

the drums sound a bit rockier, some added synths by Chris (not something I'm particularly wild about)

The drums actually sound like genuine drums..

It's been castrated, in my opinion. But that's just me.

[GNRSANDMAN]

Ya they're close with this one but not quite there.

Maybe 1 more year....... ? ?

It still packs the same punch, if not greater

The work thats been done to the previous demo is more than apparent though.

The night is young...listen to it a bunch of times...it'll click

Or there are people who would listen to Bon Jovi, Nickelback or Creed if we wanted to listen to poppy radio rock like the new version of better with weak guitars and no attitude. If broadening the horizons involves turning down the volume on the guitars and making it more radio friendly I am not sure that is a universe alot of GNR fans want to explore.
